Case Study: Bio Reference Laboratories achieves up to 50% faster processing and scalable growth with InterSystems Caché

Legacy application upgrade with InterSystems Caché speeds processing by 50%, supports business growth

Bio Reference Laboratories, one of the largest full-service medical labs in the U.S., relied on an aging character-based reporting application to consolidate and communicate test results. Rapid business growth exposed the application as a bottleneck — the lab needed a web-based GUI, more flexible customer output, faster processing, and a platform that preserved past development investments while enabling future innovation.

The lab migrated the reporting system to InterSystems Caché with InterSystems Zen to deliver a modern web UI and dashboard, consolidate five database servers into one, and enable background report processing and queue control. Results included ~30% faster UI interactions, up to 50% faster data processing, ten years of online results (vs. four months), easier custom reports in HTML/PDF/Excel, stronger built‑in security, higher developer productivity, and lower TCO.
